AI learns a video game faster with gradual levels of difficulty


Carried out by Rigoberto Sáenz, master's degree in Computer and Systems Engineering, under the direction of Professor Jorge Camargo, it is proposed how an intelligent agent potentially can learn to play a video game faster if learning resumes are used during training. These resumes are a set of parameters that determine how the difficulty of the game varies over time.

Cybersecurity


Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.



Cybersecurity Analytics


Cybersecurity Analytics involves aggregating data for the purpose of collecting evidence, building timelines, and analyzing capabilities to perform and design a proactive cybersecurity strategy that detects, analyzes, and mitigates cyberthreats.

Cryptography


Cryptography is the study of secure communications techniques that allow only the sender and intended recipient of a message to view its contents. In addition, cryptography also covers the obfuscation of information in images using techniques such as microdots or merging.



Secure Software Engineering


The software developed or engineered in such a way that its operations and functionalities continue as normal even when subjected to malicious attacks. The systems and resources in its environment remain safe and the attacks detected and removed.

Blockchain


A blockchain is a distributed database or ledger that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. Blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. They have a crucial role in cryptocurrency systems, such as Bitcoin, for maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions.



Information Security


Information security, often referred to as InfoSec, refers to the processes and tools designed and deployed to protect sensitive business information from modification, disruption, destruction, and inspection.
